The Crestone Casitas: Casita Suite #1

The back yard / garden at the casitas is absolutely enchanting — we loved the peaceful sounds of hummingbirds and windchimes, and enjoyed afternoon cocktails and morning coffee there. The owners Melanie and Allen were so friendly and wonderful to chat with when we saw them. The casita itself was super clean and well appointed with everything we needed, and didn't know we needed (like a mandala coloring book). We hope to stay here again!

This place was so peaceful. Very quiet and perfect to sit outside with a cup of coffee in the morning and enjoy the mountain air. An easy drive to Alamosa, the sand dunes, etc. Just a wonderful property.

Just a wonderful property

The Crestone Casita I stayed in, was better than I could have imagined. The photos don't do justice to the beauty of the casita and garden area in back. The room was perfect. The fireplace and bed amazing. The place was spotless. The back garden area was simply divine. Full of magic, relaxation and beauty. Close to town to walk. The property manager was great and I also had the absolute pleasure of meeting the actual owners. Amazing good people. I highly recommend this place! the huge bonus on top of all this were the chickens, dogs and farm area near my casita. I will be back and will spread the word - this place is a hidden GEM. Thank you!



better than I could have imagined
